What's New

The Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC) posted initial datasets on the California Health and Human Services (CHHS) Open Data Portal. The initial data sets include enforcement actions taken by the DMHC, Independent Medical Review (IMR) decisions, and premium rates filed with the DMHC.

CHHS launched its Open Data Portal initiative in order to increase public access to one of the State’s most valuable assets – non-confidential health and human services data. Its goals are to spark innovation, promote research and economic opportunities, engage public participation in government, increase transparency, and inform decision-making.
